Abstract (en)
A method of playing a variant of chess that provides a rectangular chessboard having 80 contiguous playing squares disposed thereon. A plurality of conventional chess pieces that include two rooks, two bishops, two knights, a king, a queen, and eight pawns are provided for each player. A plurality of non-conventional chess pieces that include a chancellor, an archbishop, and two additional pawns are provided for each player. The conventional and non-conventional pieces are initially located on two rows of the rectangular chessboard that are disposed most proximate to each of the two player edges. After the initially locating step, the chancellor may be moved, at an option of a player, as either a conventional knight, or a conventional rook. After the initially locating step, the archbishop may be moved, at an option of a player, as a conventional knight or a conventional bishop.
